with not wanting a fascist speaking at you school.

Thanks for letting us know.

He got out safely. All is well that ends well. This turd must like to be spat on. Sort of the Ann coultier syndrome.

anyone who disagrees. Sooner or later, the general left will face a backlash because of the far-left on campuses (re Yale and no more "house master" even tho that had nothing to do with race)

He faced criticism b/c Shapiro was appearing without an opposing viewpoint also being presented. Students want and deserve all sides to be heard, not just the RWnut's viewpt.

Should Jewish Germans have defended Hitler's right to blame Jews for all the country's ills? Shapiro insists the Black Lives Matter movement doesn't care about black lives and is a threat to young African American men, when it is a powerful reaction to a society that has ignored police brutality against African Americans for far too long. I think the university is right to decide that a speaker as radical as this one should be balanced by the inclusion of other speakers in the program. Make it a debate or a panel discussion.

*EVERYBODY* should be heard. NO ONE should ever be censored or shouted down. If you don't want to hear someone, don't listen or go to the event. Protest outside with information and maybe shame attendees, but I think any of any persuasion for any reason anywhere who tries to prevent someone from speaking is more of a vile turd than any racist wanker like the moron subject of the post.

I see it as an absolute. there is no right to censor, to interrupt to prevent any information from reaching anyone who wants to examine it. *MAYBE* the exception of a direct and literal call to violence or the divulging of things that should genuinely be classified, other than that, nope. No one should be shouted down, interrupted or censored, period and the people doing are more of a threat to America than some asshole like Rush or Coulter.

"more of a threat to America than some asshole like Rush or Coulter."

These un-American right wing pos do all they can to censor. They attempt to stop liberal radio and like to push for burning books or Music CDs.

Republicans have always been for censorship.

Maybe that's the America you want to live in, but I'll oppose you and your kind with every fiber in my body.
The old saying applies, I may not like what you have to say, but I'll defend your right to say it.

Freedom of Speech only applies when you agree with the stance taken/advocated. Didn't you get the memo?

What the fuck has happened to this site?
<flush>

then the analogy is correct.

And unsupported allegations in response to the subject of an OP are no better than unsupported allegations on a bumper-sticker.

No reason for him to take advantage of a taxpayer - supported college campus to spread his fecal doctrine. What is he, a socialist?

But I think he also pays taxes, which support that college.

Of the constitutionally protected right to free speech is when you have to extend it to those whose words you abhor. Your right, my right to voice our beliefs - all part of our somewhat flawed yet perfect union.

I'll gladly have my tax dollars support any school allowing all voices...even the voices expressing sentiments I passionately oppose. The alternative is un-American and contrary to our most cherished First Amendment.

And here's me exercising my first amendment rights: Ben Shapiro really sucks.
